...faster and faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death...

It's gone... moving on.

After 8 years of ownership, I reluctantly let the 540i M-Sport go yesterday. As I type this I am waiting for someone to come pick up my go-kart. Selling one's toys is always a little sad. However, the up side is that I am replacing everything with a 90% track focused car.

I've been shopping for the last few days and have narrowed the list to about 8 cars.

My focus is really on the second half of the list. I once heard that you shouldn't track a car you can't roll up into a ball and not cry about. That pretty much limits me to the second half of the list.

Selection criteria:

Streetable (at least for the first year)Potential for serious speedReasonable maintenance (time and cost)
